Title: Pulled Pork Marinade
Post by: KarenH on January 20, 2014, 08:11:14 am
This recipe is a combination of a few I found on the web, but based mostly on the one from "Not Quite Nigella" - recommended by Wonder and Katiej  ;D.
After making the marinade / sauce, you can cook the pork in a slow cooker, the oven or pressure cooker.
After cooking the meat, the sauce can be reduced down if needed to pour over the shredded meat.

Ingredients:
1 onion
2 cloves garlic
200 grams tomato sauce (ketchup-type sauce)
180 grams water
60 grams apple cider vinegar , can use white vinegar or lemon juice
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon paprika - can replace some or all of this with smoked paprika
1 teaspoon dried mustard powder
1 teaspoon chili powder, or to taste
¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
Pinch smoked paprika, or more to taste.

Method:
1. Mince onion and garlic in TMX speed 5 for 5 seconds.
2. Add all other sauce ingredients and cook 20 mins, 100 degrees, speed 2
3. Pour sauce over pork. This can be cooked in the oven on low heat for 4 hours or until it is falling apart, or in a slow cooker on low 8-10 hrs or until falling apart.  Can also cook in a pressure cooker.
4. Remove the pork and let it stand. Strain the juices into a jug and let the fat come to the top. Remove the fat, and save some of the pan juices to add back onto the pork.  Reduce the sauce if necessary
5. Shred the meat, and serve with sauce, coleslaw and soft rolls.

Thanks Karen, this looks lovely. Can I please ask what size and cut of pork you used?

Katie, I can't remember exactly what size it was, but it was about 1.5-2kg.  It was a boneless rolled pork roast.  I cut off the skin and all of the fat that I could before cooking it.  I think you could do it with any cut of pork you like, as long as it fits in your pan.  There was about 2 1/2 cups of liquid left after cooking, straining out the chunky bits and removing as much fat as I could.

Thanks Karen, glad you liked it and took note of what you did. I'll give thus a try next time we have pulled pork. I find boned shoulder the best cut as it remains more moist than leg or fillet because of the higher fat content.

I've only ever used pork fillet and cooked it in the pressure cooker.
It's my DH's favourite meal. It's delicious.

Thanks Karen.  Katie what size port fillet did you use and how long did you cook it in the pressure cooker??
Title: Re: Pulled Pork Marinade
Post by: Katiej on January 20, 2014, 10:35:19 pm
Trudy I get 2 pork fillets that weigh close to 1KG and cook it for 55 minutes on low pressure.

I follow the recipe and instructions from the Not Quite Nigella lean pulled pork sandwich recipe. Karen has changed the recipe to include using the TMX, but I've never done it this way - I just mix up the sauce in a jug and cook it all in the pressure cooker.

Just one question;  is the 'tomato sauce' the ketchup variety or the pasta sauce kind please?   :)
Title: Re: Pulled Pork Marinade
Post by: Katiej on January 21, 2014, 02:02:45 am
The Not Quite Nigella recipe is ketchup and that's what I've used in the past.

This sounds  delicious Karen. My DS keeps asking me to cook pulled pork so this is one is top of my must cook list.  Haven't been cooking much recently but will get back into it when we return from holiday. Thank you  :D

Made for dinner tonight using pork shoulder and cooked in the oven. I used a combination of tomato and BBQ sauce as no ketchup and thickened some of the sauce with cornflour. It's delicious and was loved by all. Thanks Karen will be making this again. (http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/09/20/6yzuvajy.jpg)

I made this to have for dinner last night between the Melbourne Cup "do" and the Corvette Club meeting. Did about a kilo of pork scotch fillets in the slow cooker for 6 hours then had pulled pork and coleslaw rolls. Absolutely delicious thank you Karen  :)

I'm looking for a good cornbread recipe too Wonder, so if you find one, let me know!

Quirky Jo has one in her book and Andie that used to be a frequent poster on here has one on her blog, they are quite similar so I think I'll use one of them and seee how it goes. There is also one on recipe community which gets good reviews but it uses creamed corn so I don't think that will give the texture we've had with bought ones we all liked.
